The Major League Baseball (MLB) New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians and won two consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS, best-of-seven games).

The Yankees defeated Cleveland 6-3 in Game 2 of the MLB ALCS held at Yankee Stadium in New York, USA on the 16th (Korean time).

The Yankees, who won 5-2 in the first game held the previous day, also won the second game, taking one step closer to the World Series (WS, best of 7 games).

Yankees Aaron Judge (1 hit in 3 at-bats, 1 home run, 3 RBIs), who ranked first in all MLB home runs this season, led the team to victory by hitting his first home run in 6 games of fall baseball this year. Number 1 hitter Gleyber Torres assisted with 3 hits in 5 at-bats and 2 RBIs.

From the beginning of the game, the Yankees controlled the flow.

In the bottom of the first inning, with no outs on second and third base, the opposing shortstop made an error, giving them the first run, and in the bottom of the second, they added two runs thanks to Alex Verdugo’s one-run double and Judge’s sacrifice fly.

The Yankees gave up two runs in the top of the fifth inning when starting pitcher Gerrit Cole faltered, but another error occurred when Anthony Rizzo doubled in the bottom of the sixth, and they ran away with a 4-2 lead.

Then, in the bottom of the 7th inning, with one out and runners on first base, Judge hit a two-run home run that went over the center fence.

Jose Ramirez hit a solo home run in the top of the 9th inning, but Cleveland failed to score any additional runs.

Game 3 between the Yankees and Cleveland will be held on the 18th at Progressive Field, Cleveland’s home stadium.
